My Signature Style:
How I Got Here
People always ask me how having a graduate degree in neuroscience from King's College London University has helped me get to where I am today as an artist. Let's just say I have the perfect left brain, right brain balance. My love for spreadsheets and technical research, combined with my passion for art and working with my hands, has supported me through my makeup artistry career. As a California native, I made the move to Scottsdale AZ on a whim in 2008 and founded Kensington Makeup Artists, where I had over 40 artists work under me for bridal, corporate, commercial, and special events. Upon popular demand, I created Kensington Makeup Academy in 2015, and have trained hundreds of students with my makeup and hair artistry methods that I have developed over the past 15 years working as a full time artist. I have since sold both companies to prioritize my family, move to Tulsa, OK, and develop my online business presence with Kensington Makeup Academy Online. I am looking forward to expanding my reach in helping aspiring makeup artists build their dream careers, and continuing my hands-on passion of applying makeup, while adding a little sprinkle of glitter around Tulsa.
I am on a mission to elevate
the makeup artistry industry!

Bridal
Holli did my makeup for my wedding, and I have never felt more beautiful in my life. I looked flawless all day, and the only thing I had to reapply was my lipgloss. Even through tears and the heat, I looked picture perfect the entire time. Even better, I looked like me, just a more glamorous bridal version of me. She is incredible, and I would recommend her to anyone. I also recommend the trial so you can try out colors and ideas with her ahead of time, so that you can relax on the big day.

Kind Words
Holli did everybody's makeup and she knocked it out of the park!!! She is so knowledgeable, sweet, and funny it's ridiculous. I am not a big makeup person, nor do I wear a lot, so I was extremely worried going into it. The second I looked in the mirror when she was done I was completely blown away. It was PERFECT!!
I showed her one picture and she nailed it. All of the girls looked stunning thanks to this makeup genius.
— Lauren
Holli was absolutely amazing and seriously made me look more beautiful than I have ever looked. It was important to me to have a look that could work for both the Western and Hindu ceremonies, and then for the reception, and Holli nailed it. She was also so sweet and flexible with me on the day-off the wedding to expertly change my hair look slightly from the trial, which included extensions. I could not recommend Holli more! Thank you!
— Radhika
Holli is AMAZING at what she does! I had a trial several months prior to my wedding, took notes as she went and photos after so that she would remember everything for my big day. On our wedding day, I loved that she was available to come to us. It provided a lot less stress to not have to travel anywhere. On top of that, Holli has such a calmness about her which was perfect for a morning filled with lots of nerves on my part. I had so much trust in her that I pulled a last minute change of how I wanted my hair and she pulled it off perfectly!
I would highly recommend Holli!
— Jynelle
Holli listened to my vision and also made recommendations of what she thought would compliment the look I was going for. I was completely blown away with my hair and makeup and couldn't be happier!! On my wedding day I felt absolutely fabulous and Holli took the time to make sure everything was on point.
Stop looking and choose Holli Chris - you won't be disappointed!
— Alexandria
Holli Chris is awesome! My hair and makeup was exactly what I had pictured it would be on my wedding and she did it all on her own! She created a beautiful hairstyle with a flower crown that was given us the day of the wedding. She wrapped and curled my hair around it, which added a gorgeous look to our rustic wedding. I don't wear a lot of makeup, so Holli went step by step to ensure I was comfortable with my natural look. Thank you Holli!!!
— Janelle
Holli truly the best of the best and such a sweetheart! This was a huge stress relief for me to find Holli. Let's face it, how I looked on my wedding day was my number one priority. My hair and make up were flawless and lasted the entire night! All of my bridal party received unique styles and they looked gorgeous. My mother in law and Mother also got their hair and make up done and they looked stunning!
Holli even spent extra time with my hair and make up to ensure it was perfect! I cannot thank you enough and will be using her again for all my hair and make up needs!
— Breanne
A huge thank you and hug to Holli. I am super picky when it comes to my hair and makeup. From the trial to the actual day, she exceeded my expectations. I felt beautiful, confident, and was so happy. I could not believe how quickly and effortlessly she made it all happen.The girls looked gorgeous, we stayed on time and it felt like Holli was part of the girls. I could not have been more happy with Holli and would recommend her to anyone. Of all my vendors she was my favorite. She was on top of everything, timely, flexible, and really calmed my nerves. Holli - thank you so so so much! You truly made my wedding special. My pictures are beautiful thanks to you. You made me feel like a queen for a day!
— Angela
I cannot say enough good things about Holli Chris, she is absolutely fantastic! I did a trial with her for my hair and makeup and the real day of the event was even better. My hair looked absolutely perfect and my makeup was flawless. My pictures look amazing and I have never gotten so many compliments on my appearance in my life!
She did a great great excellent job and I will recommend her to all brides! I love her!
